The Dairy Farmers of Manitoba High School Athlete of the Week is Connor Martin from Wawanesa School.
Martin was an instrumental part of the success of the Boissevain/Wawanesa Broncos baseball team this season. He threw a perfect game in the Zone 9 Finals striking out 9 batters in a 5 inning 10-0 win. He followed that up at provincials by throwing a complete game in the quarter finals giving up 1 run on 3 hits and striking out 17 of the 21 outs recorded against Birtle/Shoal Lake/Strathclair. During the Provincial Championship he also had a homerun and 2 doubles while batting .350 and was named a Provincial All-star for his performance on the weekend. Athletic Director Michael Reykdal states, "Connor is a great example of a student athlete always putting his academics first and sports second. Connor played volleyball, hockey, badminton and baseball this year competing at the provincials in all 4 sports".
This grade 10 student maintains a 90% academic average
